- Profile
-
I joined the Mesothelioma UK Research Centre in 2021 as a Research Associate as part of the team working to improve patient and carer experience through research.
I have worked in the field of health research for some years, in a number of Research Associate roles in the Information School and School of Health and Related Research, and in my previous role as a Senior Public Health Analyst for Doncaster Public Health Intelligence Team.
- Research interests
-
My research interests are in exploring experiences of health conditions; the role of carers; and support needs, especially around informational support.
I am also interested in the use of technology to support and enable people living with health conditions.
My previous projects include: -
- 鈥Tools for Life鈥 exploring data sharing and public health
- 鈥A Space for Sharing鈥 a qualitative analysis of empathy in online health forums in people living with Breast Cancer and Motor Neurone Disease:
- Information needs of carers of people living with dementia (a qualitative study)
- A variety of projects aimed at enabling people living with health conditions through technology as part of the Centre for Assistive Technology and Connected Healthcare research team e.g., Frailty, a prototype mobile phone for older people (MhealthAssist),
My PhD was funded by Barnsley Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and (2014).
